Hypnosis And Anger Management
Anger is best explained as an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation, to intense fury and rage. It is a perfectly natural and productive human emotion; a reaction to a threat that provides strong, frequently aggressive feelings, which allows us to fight back and defend ourselves. As such, in the days of prehistoric man, experiencing anger was critical to survival.
However in more contemporary times, we sometimes feel anger when we are being hurt; our personal space is violated; our desires are being ignored; or, during numerable other eventualities where our expectancies have not been met. In these scenarios we express anger as a method to recover control of the situation and in that sense; it’s a natural state.
The majority of people experience a healthy dose of anger many times during their lives. However anger becomes a difficulty when it is experienced too often, too intensely, or for long periods of time.
Too Frequently – most people respond to hard everyday situations by experiencing comparatively healthy feelings such as stress, disappointment, hurt or even fear; we reserve anger for the truly significant eventualities in life. However for some of us, we tend to react to everyday circumstances by straight away getting angry and it becomes an all too frequent response, influencing our relationships, our careers and the quality of our lives.
Too Strongly – even if most of us get angry, the level of anger is mostly limited to raising the voice and expressing a few choice words. However for many of us we find our anger is far more intense, and when we get wrapped up in it, it leads to pointless levels of aggression and possibly violence.
Too Long – and even if regular people get angry to a intense level, because of venting the anger, they often find it subsides inside a short period of time. However for some of us, once we are into the cycle, it’s difficult to get out of. Even after the circumstances are over, we may stay caught in a loop, poring over disturbed thoughts and images for no productive purpose, leaving us with a lingering sense of anger, victimization, and disappointment that penetrates us and those around us for hours, maybe days.
And when we experience anger that is too frequent, too intense or too long lasting, there are harmful effects on our health – because anger involves the activation of many physical arousal systems, anger causes a real stress on your body. Recent scientific studies have revealed that recurring anger increases health risks to a number of illnesses, including heart disease and raised blood pressure.
For those of us who realize we’re injuring and pushing away the people in our lives, damaging our family, social and work relationships, not to mention our health, there’s a plenitude of self-help material out there on the internet. But does it work? Well that’s something that you’re going to have decide for yourself. But here’s the point, the number one source of anger related issues is the sub or unconscious mind. Anger is not a conscious response – if you can consciously choose to stop getting angry, wouldn’t you simply choose to do so? The truth of the matter is that this would be a little like asking your waking mind to forget how to ride a bike. You couldn’t could you, even if you tried to? And that’s the point, while all these self-help secrets could have some merit, they do not deal with the genuine source of the issue, they do not access the unconscious mind, the reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that sit outside of our conscious awareness and influence all of our behaviours and experiences.
Thru hypnosis , we can get access to the subconscious mind and harness its acute power to reprogram habitual patterns of behaviour, such as responding angrily to everyday situations.
Hypnosis bypasses the conscious mind and creates an alternative state of consciousness in which attention is centered away from the present fact. Rather like day dreaming, attention can then be focused towards particular pictures, thoughts, perceptions, feelings, motives and behaviours which may help change our habitual responses and learned behaviours.
Our body already has natural mechanisms to handle stress and regulate emotions such as anger, but sometimes they need help in operating properly. Hypnosis helps you do that – it enrolls aid from your unconscious mind in making the mandatory long-term changes for you to be free of anger, allowing you to be altogether more relaxed and in control in all those circumstances in which you used to lose control.
